Pizza Amore e Fantasia Di Pirrotta Mario In Bucine

Pizza Amore e Fantasia da Mario, excellent thin-crust pizzas, served by a very friendly waitress.

Some of the best pizzas in all of Tuscany!

Delicious, easy-to-digest pizza. We were served quickly by a very kind woman.

Good pizza, with very well-chosen contemporary doughs, but the place is stuffy and unventilated, so when you leave, it smells like fried food! The owner is pushy and arrogant, sometimes rude, and he treats customers superficially when we know more about pizza than he does. The bill was exorbitant! €35 for a round of pizzas... I don't think I'll be back, nor would I recommend it.

Mario is good, excellent doughs

Excellent pizza by the slice, using a variety of flours and quality ingredients. Interesting tasting menu with good value. As for the coccoli and fried pizza topped with Nutella, I don't recommend it because it's inedible given the amount of oil soaked into the dough. Furthermore, the place isn't well ventilated; my clothes and hair smelled of fried food.

The pizza and the coccoli with ham as an appetizer were excellent, the service was friendly and fast.

Pizza Amore e Fantasia offers truly excellent gluten-free pizza. They're very careful about cross-contamination, with a dedicated area for preparing gluten-free pizzas. I'll definitely be back: it's one of the best places to eat pizza in the Valdarno, with prices that are lower than average. Highly recommended!

It's clear that they have a good knowledge of leavened products and pizza; the dough is definitely good. Even the ingredients used, on average, seem to be of good quality; from the tomato to the mozzarella, to the various toppings. Personally, I found the pizzas a bit salty (I'm not sure if it's the dough itself or the mix; I'm talking about the simple Margherita too). Some toppings were a bit sparse for the price. The service is simple but friendly and pleasant; they always try to please the customer. The real sore point, in my opinion, is the prices, which are indeed a bit too high. (Definitely on the round pizzas). If I'm not mistaken, for a round ham and mushrooms, we're talking €11 (which I think is definitely too much; on average, elsewhere, the same flavor is €8-9). I would compensate for this price point with a much more generous topping on top. UPDATE MAY 2025 We ordered a takeout pizza, a peel. Unfortunately, I have to say it was truly awful; as you can see from the photos, the dough was "raw," as if it hadn't risen. Mistakes that simply can't happen. I confirm what I said previously about the quality of the ingredients used, the friendliness of the staff taking the order, and the somewhat high prices. UPDATE FEBRUARY 2026 We ordered a takeout pizza. The dough was very good, just the right thickness and soft/crispy inside and out. It rose well and was cooked well. The three flavors chosen were very good (mortadella, arugula, and pistachio; rigatino, truffle, and porcini; eggplant, scamorza, and pancetta), only the pancetta was a bit too soft/chewy and not crispy or well-cooked, so it wasn't particularly enjoyable. The only flaw we noticed is that there's a strong cooking smell inside, so I guess if you dine inside, your clothes will smell bad when you leave. Anyway, I'm very happy to say that the pizza has improved since my last experiences, which I wouldn't have returned to. I hope it was just a temporary thing, and now they're back to making good pizzas!!! 🙂

The chef was really kind to me, as I have several food intolerances. He worked hard to find something I could eat and made me a delicious (gluten-free) pizza.
